Hero Sports is ranking the top 100 college football teams for 2017, and the BYU Cougars came in at No. 45.
"BYU had a perplexing, although wildly entertaining, 2016 season," Andrew Doughty wrote. "The Cougars lost four games by a field or less and won two games on the last play. They return 13 starters from that nine-win team, along with an experienced quarterback who's very (familiar) with last-play victories, and have the talent and depth for another run at 10 wins."
After focusing on Tanner Mangum as one of the key returning players on the offensive side of the ball, Doughty turned his attention to who will be catching the ball.
